about 18months ago we installed a dozen hp industrial pc's on a
fleet of pearling trawlers in north australia. they had a 12v input and
were "ruggedised" or shockproofed, mainly used for course plotting, in
this instance. cost equivalent us$2k each including panel screen.

I am looking at installing an onboard computer onto our boat to use to run
chart plotting software as well as regular old computer stuff while we

marine environment that is MS Windows based. There are a couple of brands
out on the internet but most are sold overseas. Is there a popular brand
of marine PC used here in the US?
